I'm not sure about the grind you are refering to,, but I had the B&M blower cam, [ I bought it back when B&M was still in business] and it was exactly the same spects as the Edelbrock RPM performer cam.. lift was 488 & 502,, don't remember the lobe sep. or other specs,,, I will see if I can find the spec sheet,, needle in the hay stack kind of thing,,,, Bill

i went out to the garage and looked at the cam i have.its in the original box and says charger cams,b&m,chatsworth,ca. 91311,9152 independence ave.it said the side of the box to use an 850 holley.the cam had 118 M with a circle around it the another mark that looked like'' l l''.thats all i have acept that i stood the cam profiled to my comp cams magnum 280 and it was every bit as big as the magnum with slightly fatter rounder lobes.

I knows its been 5+ years since you asked this question, but I have all the specs and the original packaging for the Super street B&M blower cam, if your still interested? Remember they had two different CAMs, one "street charger" for thier standard blower (144) 6-8 pounds of boost, and a "Super street charger" model for built motors and or motors using the HIGH ENERGY (162) blower running 10-12 pounds of boost. The super model was said to have a rougher idle but still enough vacum to run on the street.
Has anyone run these cams. what was your experience, did they make more power for you ?
Well if you want I can post all the specs tomorrow?

sure I still want them, I have the super street charger cam, it's installed in a .040 over 350 SBC, I have the 144 blower with the smallest pulley B&M offered for them back in 1998, Iīm restoring this engine thatīs been sitting in a corner for years.

I used this engine as a daily driver long time ago and was a good performer, it idles rather smooth, I expected a rougher idle but didn't get it.

The blower made 10-11 psi of boost, made lots of power and sounded beatiful, I had lots of problems with the belt, the tensioner failed, the mounting bolts at the nose stripped so I fabbed a mount for the tensioner using the alternator base, the one thet goes on top, it worked fine.

I want the specs to dial in the cam perfectly, I think I have it slightly retarded, I want to make sure it runs the way itīs supposed to be.

You will have to use a solid lifter or read off the edge of the hyd lifter to get accurate degreeing results. If the timing gears are a set, it should degree in within +/-1deg.

The edelbrock performer rpm cam is similar, but on a 112 LSA

I know blowers tame a lot the cam's rough idle, but mine idles like stock, hard to belive it has 244 deg of exhaust, so this cam should be good for something like 400+ horses, I have ported heads and headers in this engine, 7.9:1 CR.

I used to have lots of pingin before, but that was with 882 heads, now it has better heads polished and ported, I expect lower boost reading with this better flowing heads. And hopefully with this low CR I won't have many issues

The infromation I posted is what I used with a B&M 420 blower,, much bigger that the 144, I also have a 144,, or should say I HAD a 144,, untill my son decided he wanted to try it on his Camaro,, its been over 5 years now and he still "trying it out",, so I guess he thinks its his now,,, just like alot of stuff I've bought and ends up on someone elses car
